Composer_Fan 2 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 What's a cor anglais?English Horn.Right? Welcome to the board! The oboe is one of my favorite instruments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 What's a cor anglais?English Horn.Right? Correct. The standard oboe is a C instrument, the cor anglais is the french term for the English Horn, which is an F oboe (pitched lower then its cousin). You can hear it in the famous solo in the 2nd movement of Dvorak's 9th symphony.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggiemusician 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 Im from manchester dude.. you?Its really intresting listening JW scores with oboe... I can mostly at once tell where the oboist comes from.listen to AI, and starwars scores - very british sound.But Munich sounds more american to me. Ive got no idea which orchestra it was recorded with so might be shooting mysefl in the foot here hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it was originally called the Cor Angle, or angled horn, on account of the angled mouthpiece. Still doesn't explain the Cor part though. Maybe it was originally the Cor Blimey.
